A Tribute to Buchla’s Visionary Sound Design

The oscillators provide a palette of rich harmonics and textures that synth enthusiasts will recognize as the signature Buchla sound. With an envelope generator, pulser, and five-stage sequencer, the 208C module offers endless possibilities for creating intricate patterns and evolving tones, while the dual low-pass gate adds Buchla’s distinct natural-sounding decay and sustain.

Designed to respond to the lightest touch, it provides polyphonic MIDI output, arpeggiator functionality, and channel pressure for dynamic control.
